News Briefing

What’s happening?
Donald Trump has endorsed Mike Collins in the Georgia Senate runoff, aiming to consolidate support ahead of the elections. Collins, a lesser-known candidate, is running against state agricultural commissioner Gary Black, who has more established political backing.

Coverage analyzed: CNN: “Trump beats a longtime adversary with a late Georgia endorsement, and other election takeaways” | The New York Times: “Georgia Republicans Go With Trump’s Pick for Senate, but Not Governor”
CNN’s headline emphasizes Trump’s relationship with former adversaries while focusing on election implications. In contrast, The New York Times frames the endorsement within the broader context of Republican voter choices, highlighting a divergence in preferences for Senate versus gubernatorial nominations. This comparison reflects differing editorial perspectives—one centered on Trump’s influence and the other on voter behavior.

Rasmus Hojlund is well aware of his critics during his Manchester United career so far, but said he has always believed in himself after his latest goal for the club.

The 20-year-old opened the scoring in the Red Devils’ 2-2 draw with Tottenham, which saw the home side twice take the lead at Old Trafford.

That was his seventh goal for the club in all competitions, with five of those coming in the Champions League, but with just two in 16 Premier League outings, it has been a slow start in England.

The Denmark international has not been oblivious to some criticism coming his way for a lack of goals in domestic football, but says he has not been concerned at all.

‘There’s been a lot of focus about me not scoring in the Premier League but I’ve always believed in myself,’ he said after the draw with Spurs.

‘It’s taken time but it’s not like I’ve not been scoring goals. My team-mates help me everyday.

‘You can always take the confidence with you from the earlier games. It’s instinct.’

Despite the home team twice leading, Spurs may feel the more frustrated that they didn’t leave with three points after an impressive display.

However, Hojlund says there is disappointment in the Manchester United camp, despite admitting that they lacked focus.

‘A little bit disappointed,’ the forward said of the result. ‘I think we played a very good game, especially offensively.

‘I think we’re starting to click. Everyone is feeling confident but then we concede two not so good goals. We should be a little more focussed. We should be better and they had another chance afterwards too and we spoke about it.’
